Hello!
If you're in high school start looking for schools with a computer engineering program that works best for you. Another option is a school with an Electrical Engineering and Computer Science degree. You can often major in EE with a ComS minor (if the school doesn't have a CPrE program) and this will be similar (not perfect) to a CPrE program. In college, write down all your projects you do. This includes personal projects, school projects, and club projects (if you choose to join a club, which I recommend). When writing these down, note what was the problem, what was your thought process, and what you learned on each process. Do this for all your projects including ones that didn't work.
In school, start to think what you'd like to focus on. CPrE is very broad so it doesn't hurt to have a few topics you really interested in (architecture, software, or something else). This is more to help you narrow down job opportunities.
With this list, you can look for internships. In your internships again write down projects (what you learned etc) but obviously don't write down confidential information.
You can repeat these steps. The main thing is to make sure you're constantly learning. There's always something to learn in each job opportunity.
I hope this helps a little!
